90 MinsAny decent person has to be interested in the conditions under which the smartphone in their pocket is produced, right? So, you need to see this film; it’s that simple. She tells the collective story of the Vietnamese women who work at one of the world's largest electronic component factories.
These are the human beings being shifted around on the chessboard of the tariff wars. Women are preferred for this kind of work - 80% of the 80,000 strong workforce in the factory is female - as they work harder and complain less. They do twelve-hour shifts under gruelling conditions and intense scrutiny. These are tough women who spend the majority of their time under harsh electric light. Their primary contact with their children and families is through video calls.
Italian filmmaker/anthropologist Parsifal Reparato has concentrated on the challenges that socialist and ex-socialist countries face under a globalised economy. While the film focuses on the working conditions of female workers in a Vietnamese electronics factory, it resonates globally, questioning the very structure of the global economy.
